My parents divorces when i was 7 years old. 11 years later they BOTH still talk down about one another. It makes me not believe what they say, like I have to piece together truths and lies. My older brother and i were stuck in the middle and it SUCKED! I just wish parents would realize that sometimes they act like children and when they do, it affects their kids a great deal. That being said their divorce made me a stronger person, keep your head up!
I firmly believe that the impact of seeing his father for only visitation will have less of a negative impact than being in a household with a man who uses him as emotional currency against me. I don't want my son to ever model our past dysfunctional and abusive relationship when he grows up. Splitting up has saved him from not being able to have a healthy relationship and more trauma than I could describe. Coming back to mama and papa (step-father who treats him as his own) is the best example of happiness and love he could ever see. He is safe and secure in an atmosphere with all the family support he could need. I do not bash his biological father. But he is ultimately just an occasional babysitter and it is emotionally saving my son to be babysat rather than live in that hell.

I went through that for years, it leaves an impact on a child's life that there parents could never understand...
very very true parents dont think about it they just want to move on and never realize the kids are the ones suffering....
I don't want my kids to go through that. But i'm sure eventually they will...
We just both want to be there for you.
